It's just a list of songs that are overplayed on "Classic Rock" stations. Why not feature some more obscure songs by these artists or music by lesser known artists?

Let There Be Rock - ACDC Kashmir - Led Zeppelin Breaking the Law - Judas Priest Stranglehold - Ted Nugent Iron Man - Black Sabbath Wasted Years - Iron Maiden Hot For Teacher - Van Halen Money For Nothing - Dire Straits

OK i do have one problem with this list i would put the songs from lynyrd skynyrd in the top 50 are you an idiot for putting sweet home alabama at 87 ?? i think you are plus i disagree with some of these songs on here like number 62 really ?? some of these song should not be in this list
Source(s): my personal opinion - Anonymous10 years ago
These are more like the most popular songs 13 year old boys play on guitar. And Joe Satriani should be way higher on the list.

just reinforces my opinion that rolling stone has no idea what they're talking about
edit: hah just realized it's guitar world and not rolling stone, but it's still a sucky list

The lack of Frank Zappa related material makes this list invalid.

I have it and it is my favorite issue.. I think the list pretty much covers it all.
